View Point - The Heart of Structural Development: The Functional Basis of the Location and Morphology of the Human Vascular Pump
Kishore KS
Abstract
A famous surgeon once proclaimed: "There can be a structure with no function; but there cannot be a function with no structure." Surgeons can be excused for their bias towards Anatomy, but what the dramatic statement conceals is that, it is the demands of function that designs a structure. Nature in its infinite wisdom, has a functional basis for the morphology as well as the location of every organ - some known, and others waiting to be understood.
